Gambling regulation is a matter for the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) and the Gambling Commission. DCMS are currently undertaking a review of gaming machines, and expect to publish a consultation response document shortly.

In line with their statutory duties, the independent OBR publish the fiscal impact of any government policy that is introduced as part of the Budget process.
